Olivia had asked for the day off after the recent incident. Unfortunately, Elliot wouldn't be spending time with her because he had to work. She woke up earlier that morning to prepare breakfast for both of them. She was not used to cooking, but this time she tried hard. After burning two waffles, breakfast was ready. She prepared the table ready for Elliot.
He woke up a couple of minutes later and ate breakfast happily with her. He then got changed from his boxers into some pants and a blue shirt, which looked very sexy on him. Olivia was used to see him like that, but today was different, she was amazed.
Elliot walked to his door with Olivia by his side. "I love you, bye," he said before kissing her on the lips and heading to the squad. He had told Fin and Munch about Olivia and he was used to be imitated when he was talking about her. John would turn his head to a side and talk like a complete idiot just to make fun of Elliot. He was just glad that when he was done with work he would go back to his place knowing Olivia would be there.
Once he was there, he was welcomed by his funny co-workers, Fin and John. "Oh man! You'll have the chance to show us your new girlfriend this Saturday!" Fin exclaimed excited and smiled to John. Elliot looked at them confused.
"I don't get you dude," Elliot said while he was taking off his coat and leaving it on the back of his seat, he then sat on the edge of his desk waiting for the answer.
"You don't know about the party?" John asked and as he didn't get an answer from his co-worker, he decided to keep on talking. "Casey is throwing us a party this Saturday," He said calmly and was a bit confused because it was weird Elliot didn't know about the party.
As Elliot shook his head, John went to look for Casey so she could explain everything about the party. Elliot had a great friendship with both of his co-workers, but he had different connections with each of them. For example, with Fin, he could talk about Olivia and everything going on in his life, but with John he would have a great time, and he would laugh like if there was no tomorrow. "So… how's everything with Liv?" Fin had always known Elliot was deeply in love with her and he secretly admired how he was able to have such a strong relationship with someone.
He smiled and let out a soft sigh at his friend's question. He didn't know how to describe this new relationship. Memories of every occasion he had spent by her side, every kiss he had shared with her and every night with her appeared in his mind before answering. "She made breakfast for me today," his voice was almost a whisper. Fin smiled to see how Elliot, one of his closest friends, smiled when he talked about a woman. Just then, his cell phone started ringing, Elliot was so lost in though he didn't hear it, so Fin had to pick it up.
"Yes?" Fin asked laughing as he saw how his partner was so lost in though and with a big smile on his face.
"I miss you baby, when are you coming home?" Olivia asked from the other side of the phone. She was sitting on his couch playing with her hair while she talked. It had been only an hour since he left, but it felt like an eternity.
"I think I'll give the phone to Elliot," Fin whispered before laughing as he gave the phone to Elliot. Olivia also laughed and waited until Elliot answered this time. They talked for about five minutes before both of them hung up. There was a smile tattooed on his face.
"This… is getting serious?" Fin asked smiling. He heard how he talked to her and how she answered the phone to him. There was intense connection between the two of them. Elliot nodded and just then, John and Casey entered the squad room. "Finally! Can you explain us the whole party thing?" Fin asked nearing them with Elliot by his side.
"Sure guys, it's simple…" the blond ADA started talking and left her purse on a nearby chair before going on with her explanation "Okay guys, I made a bet with one of my friends and if she would win… I would organize a party for her, you understand now?" she asked sitting on the edge of Fin's desk.
The three men laughed about the reason for the party "We thought you loved us, and that was the reason for the party!" John joked before laughing once again. Casey laughed at his comment.
"Will you please tell us what the bet was?" Elliot asked once he stopped laughing. He didn't know why he was laughing at all, it was probably because John was laughing, and when he laughs, Elliot did. Have you ever laughed simply because someone else was laughing? Well, it was exactly what happened when John laughs.
"Okay, okay," Casey whispered calming down "She had to make a guy fall in love with her within a month and then dump him," Casey said standing up because she was due in court in one hour.
"Would you tell us the name of the stupid fool?" John asked preparing some coffee. He then walked back near them and stood next to Elliot. They would probably have to make a bet soon after this, because it was so funny.
"I don't know guys! She didn't tell me!"
"Tell us the name of your friend then!" John exclaimed after taking a sip of his hot coffee. There was a long case waiting for them after this conversation.
"Okay! Her name is Olivia Benson!" Casey shouted but no-one said anything. John stopped laughing and turned serious; Fin glanced to John before glancing to Elliot. Elliot tried to process this new information before answering. Casey didn't know what was going on and why everyone stopped laughing. "What happened?" she asked but no-one answered.
Fin walked by Elliot's side and placed a hand on his shoulder "I'm so sorry man," he whispered. Elliot didn't answer and kept staring at the floor lost in thought. He wondered if Olivia was cheating on him because of the bet or if he was the famous bet. John turned to his friend and whispered something to him.
"What is it?" Casey asked worried. She thought Elliot remembered something that had happened or if he recognized the name she had said. Elliot then looked up and faced Casey. "Is there something wrong El?" she asked.
"I'm the stupid fool, Casey," Elliot said before taking his coat and heading to the elevator. "Tell Cragen I'll be right back," he shouted just before the doors of the elevator closed. He drove to his house, knowing the woman he loves would be there waiting for him.
Olivia was more than surprised when Elliot opened the door. She was sitting on his couch watching TV. "Hi stranger, I wasn't expecting you to come back early," she said smiling. He didn't answer and took the remote to turn off the TV. He stood in front of her almost crying.
"We need to talk," he whispered. He looked more serious than she had ever seen him and that worried her. She didn't understand what was happening so she stood up to be nearer him, but he took a few steps backwards. Olivia walked near him again and when she was going to place a hand on his cheek, he turned his face away.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked angrily, though she was more scared than angry.
"When were you going to tell me about the bet, Olivia?!" he shouted and started to walk around the living room. She closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands, ashamed of what she had done. She had completely forgotten about the bet, how could she?
"Let me explain it to you…" she whispered and neared him. Some tears started to run down her face because she knew she was going to lose him now. He raised his hand to stop her from talking.
"Don't cry, because if anyone has the right to cry it's me, not you!" he shouted as tears fell from his eyes. Elliot sat on his couch and covered his face by his hands, trying to hide the pain in his face. Of course he was angry with her, but he was more disappointed and hurt than angry. "I had to hear it from my ADA instead of you, does it sound fair to you?" he said "I had so many hopes and plans for us…" he whispered making her cry harder.
"Elliot, I swear to you that," she was interrupted by a sob. He couldn't stand to see her crying like that because of him. He couldn't see her cry in the first place. But he couldn't be so stupid to forgive her that simply; she had used him for a stupid bet.
"Your BET was about making a guy fall in love with you, well… congratulations you won! Now get out of here!" Elliot stood up and took her purse; he handed it to her and dragged her to the door.
"Elliot, please…" she whispered but he slammed the door in her face. Olivia walked away crying after losing the man she loved.
